Pizza Puzzle left the following on the Village Pump at 23:12, 1 Aug 2003
It is obvious that certain users have become convinced that I am another user against which they hold a grudge. I will be changing my account name so that this is no longer a problem for me. Pizza Puzzle
Those of us who have followed PP's edits and behaviour have long known that it was Adam von Rickleff. Evercat showed the detailed evidence at [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Evercat/PP]
I have not argued for PP's banning, even though he is a multiple banned user, on the basis that his behaviour was a considerable improvement on his actions in the past, all of which warranted a ban then. When PP's behaviour began to slip back to old ways, I told him
''You have done good work as PP and I have been one of the people defending your right to be here because of how you have behaved as PP. Don't slip up now and revert to a standard of behaviour that got you banned before. You have a lot of ability. Please don't blow it and get yourself banned by acting like Vera and the other characters. '' (He deleted the comment, interpreting it as an attack, not constructive advice, which is what it was intended as, given that I was one of only a small band of users to defend him.)
However his actions is going incognito /again/ are hardly in the spirit of wiki. It is the same old Adam, running away from the consequences of his actions, then performing those actions again under another identity which he hopes no-one will spot. I have gone out on a limb defending him as PP and am not exactly impressed that he had decided to revert to form, as he did as Bridget, Vera Cruz, Lir, Susan Mason, Dietary Fiber. We /really/ need to lay down the rules here and tell him in no uncertain terms that running multiple identities on wiki is as unacceptable now as it was months ago when we faced his previous games with names.

For whatever this may be worth... last week I asked Adam point blank if he was editing as Pizza Puzzle and he flatly denied it. He tells me that he's spending his time in other ways and has given up on Wikipedia.
I express no opinion here, I am just reporting the facts.
